Oak-Bar Ranch

Oak-Bar Ranch is a Scottish Highland cattle breeder in Lincoln, CA, in Placer County and the Sacramento Valley near Sacramento. Candace Brown has managed the ranch for over ten years, following breed association guidelines and scheduling regular veterinary health checks. The herd grazes on open pastures under a rotational system and receives early handling to support calm temperaments.

All animals have year-round access to shade and shelter during weather extremes, and calves remain with their dams in spacious paddocks. Stock from Oak-Bar Ranch often places at county fairs and contributes to conserving heritage genetics of the breed. Feedback from local farmers notes their cattle’s sturdy build and gentle nature, reflecting the ranch’s hands-on approach. The ranch operates as a family-run farm with deep roots in regional agriculture. Calves undergo basic handling routines before joining the main herd to encourage social harmony.
